Electric Car Sales in Germany Plunge in December; Year Ends With 6,051 New Registrations

Official data on electric cars sales last month in Germany are not optimistic. In December, with the gradual rollout of the Tesla Model S, BMW i3 and VW e-up! all underway, sales somehow fell back to the volume prior to these vehicles appearing (Aug/Sept.). Just 445 units! In the whole 2013, we see 6,051 registrations of new electric cars in Germany (excluding plug-in hybrids), which is twice as many as in 2012, when just 2,956 were registered. This is positive for sure.
